For the needs C API has been designed, I think there just isn't any use
for those. There's C side, and there's Lua side. Of course, you can
'getnumber' and add and 'pushnumber', but the additions happen then in
C.

such as + - * /. The code in the bytcode interpreter
to handle these is non trivial. Shouldn't there be
API calls wrapping these and other facilities in the
language .. or did I just miss them?
